NO EFFORT TO KEEP
DOWN FRENCH FIRING
Atlanta, Gn., April 3. Frederick A.
Hyde, formerly a millionaire clubman
awd business leader of Oakland, Pal.,
has been released from the federal
penitentinry here, after serving sixtnpn
months In connection with land frauds
and will leave for his home tomorrow.
Prison officials announced that Hyde
left the prison late Thursday.
Believed France Has Number
of Army Corps or Divis
ions in the Background
for Emergency.
London, April 3. The official Brit
ish observer with the French army in
his latest report, which was issued last
night, compares the results achieved
by the French in Champagne with
the objects with which the operations
were undertaken. The objects, he
says, were to keep a constant pressure
on the German first line defenses, in
order to affect the use by the Germans
of the railway from Bazancourt to
Challerange, and to wear down their
reserves of men and ammunition.
as regards tne tirst object, says
the report, "the pressure continued for
thirty-one days, with the result that
the enemy has lost the fortified area
which he had been holding and con
tinually strengthening for five months,
"The using up of his reserves has
been achieved in a marked manner.
At the beginning of the operations
there were some eighteen regiments in I
that part of the line. At Its conclusion j
thirty-three have been Identified. Fif- j
teen that had been called up to with
stand the French offensive were drawn
from many parts of the German line,
which indicates that the enemy has no
central reserves that he can call up
In case of an emergency.
"As regards ammunitions: The Ger-!
man artillery has practiced economy,
which Is unusual with them. On many
dnys they made no effort to keep down
the five of the French guns, although
this meant heavier losses for their
infantry In the trenches. This showed
clearly that their supply of ammuni
tion was not all that they could have
wished."
Speaking of the Inspection by Gen
eral Joffre, the French commander-in-chief,
of several divisions which had
been through the whole of the fighting
the observer says:
"Wo must not forget that these
regiments have had to be brought up
to strength, sometimes almost re-organized,
after each of their attacks, of
which they carried out several during
the last thirty days. What we really
are looking at Is the French system of
reinforcements and the system which
keeps army corps not only up to their
strength but up to their full standard
of fighting efficiency. It Is one which
plainly Is answering well.
"There is an idea in many circles
that France has a number of army
corps or divisions somewhere In the
background ready to be thrown Into
the fighting when the great day of vic
tory ;e at hand. The idea should be
dismissed. All the army corps of
France are fighting, and her reserves
will enable them to keep fighting, and
fighting hard, go long as the v,ar continues."

H Traveler's Experience Among the
Natives of Manchuria.
In "Thirty Years In Mukden" Dr.
Dugald Christie tells the following
story of an experience tlmt be and the
Rev. John Muulutyre underwent on a
trip they took from Mukden to the riv
er Yalu, the bottler of Korea. On their
way back they found themselves to
ward dusk ouu day In a sparsely In
habited district several miles from the
only luu. They reached It by fording
a Bwift river swollen, with melting
snows und found a poor hovel with
only one common room and two old
men as Innkeepers.
"Ther was neither candle nor lamp,
but the end of a tarred rope that hung
from a beam was burning, and by this
dim light I looked at my watch," says
Mr. Christie.
"'What Is that toy?" asked one of
the old men.
"'It tells the time," I answered.
" " 'What time? Vlint do you mean
by time?
" 'It shows where the sun Is.'--"Turning
to his brother, he asked In
a puzzled way: "But the sun's down
long ago. How can he tell where ltlsT
" 'Al-ya!' said the brother, with awe.
He can still see It In the glass. What
cau these foreigners not do!'
"Early the next morning we were
astir, nrennrlne to co on. As our
horses were being saddled the old man
questioned us again:
" 'How far away Is your country 7
"Muny thousand miles.'
"'And did you ride all the way on

The Physician' Life.
The study of medicine is an entranc
ing subject Its practice requires an
nrray of virtues whose mere contem
plation staggers the mind. One must
meet violence with gentleness, Ingrati
tude with equanimity, insult with forti
tude, slander with silence. The physi
cian's lifo Is a dally exemplification of
the Golden Bule. Tbe very sensitive
ness that Inspires sympathy with pain
and misery Is a weapon in the hands of
Ignorance and malice wherewith they
deal dreadful wounds, wounds whicb
must be endured silently. Resentment
can have no place In the physician's
mind. From "Recreation of a PhysU

Americans, accustomed to the bustle

would be amazed If not exasperated
with the papers of India. One of these
sheets recently published this explana
tion:
"This is only tbe beginning of our
paper. We were not sure how much
matter was required to All It up, and.
thinking we bad sufficient, we did not
exert ourselves much to get any more.
We therefore beg that our readers will
excuse us for the space left blank and
promise to do better and get more in
the future."
How many subscribers would that
paper have In this country? Still more
curious was tbo announcement of a
paper that came out with two columns
blank, the editor having (be cbeek to
say that a large (inutility of exceeding
ly Interesting matter has been left out
for wnut of space.
